For me, this kind of thing started when I saw a 280ZX on the side of the road for $495 about 18 years ago. The body was like swiss cheese, but the thing ran like a son of a bitch. So, I somehow found the money and started the project.

I though they do this so that the cars driving over the newly-filled hole tamp the cold patch down. Toss some in, car drives over, toss more, car drives over, etc until the hole is filled.

Yeah, lets just throw the asphalt toward that hole like tossing the neighbor’s dog shit onto his yard and hope that it lands in the hole. That’s a sure way to fill the hole and ensure that the repair is permanent...

Based on the casual way he was throwing cold patch on it between cars, this ain’t his first rodeo.

The epitome of “malaise-era” sports cars? Sorry, that was the 70's Vettes and cars in general. By 1990, the C4 was a very well worked out Vette compared to the 1984 through ‘86 examples. If you want to knock GM quality and interiors in general, that’s fine, but this Vette was as well put together and “Janky” free as…

While doing penance in summer school 1969 I was constrained by the rule that only let you miss TWO days of summer session. Having already lost one with feeling crappy, I was up against losing two to attend the 1969 Watkins Glen Can-Am/six hour FIA race. I needed to pass the classes but, hey the GLEN!!! Solution? Use…

My two picks.

My mom wants a miniature goat really badly, but I keep trying to tell her that it’ll ram the shit out of her and her little dog and shit everywhere. Despite that, she still wants one.

Except that countries such as the Soviet Union, Cuba and North Korea have shown that Marxism is even worse than capitalism. If King favored Marxist beliefs, then that’s something he was just plain wrong about.

because its funny when they get bored and wander off somewhere with the drivers umbrella?

Maybe nobody wants their crappy car.

a friend has her new Outlander transmission replaced nearly bi-monthly. so no thanks.

Lexus is for the plebians that want their vulgar “luxury”.

What sort of hardscrabble reporter on the automotive field do you think you are. Accept the invite on a level that makes it legally, not just professionally, awkward to back out for them. Then start asking the hard questions. :)

This is mine:

One of my favorites was a photo some people took of a menu somewhere in Southeast Asia that featured the delicious sounding ‘Cowboy Leg’ which of course we all laughed at. However, it actually made some sense: it was a veal shank.

That “leave” what? Don’t leave me hanging!

Yes but only for a cunning linguist.

I would have parked much closer to them. Close enough that when they put their car in gear, it would have lurched forward enough to hit my hitch.
